fiie number 06-81
date November 17, 2006
WHEREAS, Margery Wel(s, File # 06-240-622, has appiied for a Rezoning from RM-2 (Multiple-family
Residential) to OS (Office-Service) under the provisions of § 61.801 of the Saint Paul Legislative
Code, on property located at 1449 Grand Ave, Parcel Identification Number (PIN) 032823310087,
fegally described as WANN'S ADDITON TO ST. PAUL LOT 18 SLK 4; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Pianning Commission, on November 9, 2006, held a public
hearing at which all persons present were given an opportunity to be heard pursuant to said
application in accordance with the �equ+rements of §64.3�0 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code; and
WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the evidence presented to its Zoning
Committee at the public hearing as substantiatfy reflected in the minutes, made the following findings
1. The applicant operates a health-related business with two residential units at this address. She
previously occupied one of the u�its, which made the business use a legal home occupation. At
some time, the appiicant moved out of the building and rented both units to others. This move
caused the business to be in viofation of the requiremenfs for a home occupation found in §65.141
of the Zoning Code. fn order to maintain the business as well as the rental units at this location,
• the applicant is requesting a rezoning of the property to OS O�ce Service. If the rezoning is
approved, the property musf be brought into compliance with the building code, and a certificate of
occupancy wifl be required to fegalize the uses.
2. The proposed zoni�g is consistent with the way this area has devefoped. 7here is a mix of
commercia( and residential uses all along Grand Avenue including the area around this parcel.
3. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Pfan. Poficy 52.1 in the Land Use
chapter states "...the City will support compatibie mixed use within single buildings..." On the Ciry
land use map, the parcel is located within btocks of a designated neighborhood commercial node
at the intersection of Snelling and Grand Avenue. The District 14 Area Pfan Summary
"encourages mixed use housing development with commercial uses on the first floor and
residential uses upstairs in selected commercial clusters."
4. The proposed zoning is compatible with surrounding uses. §66.411 states that the intent of the OS
zoning designation is to "accommodate various types of office and service uses performing
adrninistrative, professional and personal services and to serve as a transitionai use between the
more intensive uses of land... and the less intensive uses of land." A mix of office and residential
uses at this location is consistent with the code's intent.

Patricia James - Re-Zoning 1449 Grand Ave.
From: °Matysik, StevenP" <SPMatysik@CBBLIRNET.COM> •
To: <patricia.james@ci.stpaul.mn.us>
Date: 11l9/06 11:56 AM
Subjecf: Re-Zoning 1449 Grand Ave.
CC: "Matysik, Steven P" <SPMatysik@CBBURNET.COM>
Dear Ms. James,
This email is to voice my opinion on the re-zoning of 9449 Grand Ave., the property owned by Ms. Marjorie Wells.
Macalester-Groveland is a very unique mix of residential and commercial uses. In my opinion this end of Grand
Ave, (from Ayd Mill Rd. running West to the River) seems to have a nice balance currently. To continually nick
away aT re-zoning properties more towards commercial use will everttually allow developers, in the future, to
gather larger parcels as a whole for larger developement of certain blocks or corners thaf could possibly ruin the
character of this neighborhood. There are issues with parking, fraffic, architecture, scale, setbacks, property
values, etc. thaf come into play here with regard to future developemnt alang Grand Ave. and until there is solid
comprehensive plan in place I feel we are cheating the community and those that have moved into this
neighborhood because it is not an Uptown or France Ave. or Grand Ave. on the east side of Ayd Miil.
Ms. Wells chose to buy a home in Macalester-Groveland Neighborhood and has been allowed to run her
business from her home as allowed by the City of St. Paui zoning codes. She chose to move and attempt to
continue running her business from that home which is no longer allowed under iYs existing zoning uses, and
outside of personai gain and an obvious increase in vatue if zoned towards a more commercial use, Ms. Weils 1'm
sure has other choices available to her. As a rental property, zoned residential, her investment will continue to
grow none-the-less.
Thank you for your time and consideratio�,

On September 29, 2006, you appiied to rezone property at 1449 Grand Ave. (After waiting the
7 working days required by law for the consent petition, the official date of receipt ot the
appfication was October 10, 2006.) After a public hearing by the Saint Paul Planning
Commission's Zoning Committee on November 9, 2006, the Commission voted to recommend
approval of your request on November 17, 2006.
• The P(anning Commission's recommendation is being forvvarded to the City Councii for their
action. Minnesota Statutes 15.99 requires that alI city action on zoning applications be
completed within 60 days of the date the appiication is made, but a{lows the City fo e�end this
period for an additionai 60 days (total of 120 days). In order to accommodate the City Council
public hearing on your rezoning, which is also required by state law, the City of Saint Paul is
hereby extending ihe deadline for.action from December 9, 2006 (original 60 day deadline} to
February 7, 2007 (additional 60 day deadline). i have requested that the City Council set the
public hearing on this rezoning for December 20, 2006. When fhis or another date is confirmed
by the Council, you will be notified.

ZONING CODE CITATION: § 66.421 Iists uses permitted in the OS zoning district; § 61.801(b) provides
for changes to the zoning of propetty initiated by the property owner.
HISTORY/DfSCUSSION: A previous rezoning app{ication was submitted (ZF #06-096373) to rezone
from RM2 to OS but was returned to the applicant due to insufficient signatures.
DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: The District 14 Council had not commented on this
application at the time this staff report was prepared.
FINDINGS:
1. The applicant operates a health-related business with iwo residential units at this address. She
previousiy occupied one of the units, which made the'business use a legal home occupation. At
some time, the applicant moved out of the building and rented both units to others. This move
caused the business to be in violation of the requirements for a home occupation found in §65.141 of
the Zoning Code. In order to maintain the business as weil as the rental unifs at this location, the
appiicant is requesting a rezoning of the property to OS Office Service. If the rezoning is approved,
the property must be brought into compliance with the building code, and a certificate of occupancy
will be required to legalize the uses.
2. The proposed zoning is consistent with the way this area has developed. There is a mix of
commerciaf and residentia( uses all along Grand Avenue incfuding the area around this parcel.
3. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Policy 52.1 in the Land Use
chapter states "...the City will support compatible mixed use within single buildings..." On the City
land �se map, the parce! is located within blocks of a designated neighborhood commercial node at
the intersection of Snelling and Grand Avenue. The District 14 Area Plan Summary "encourages
mixed use housing development with commercial uses on the first floor and residential uses upstairs
in selected commercia{ clusters:'
4. The proposed zoning is compatible with surrounding uses. §66.411 states that the intent of the OS
zoning designation is to "accommodate various types of office and service uses performing
administrative, professional and personai services and to serve as a transitionai use befiveen the
more intensive uses of land...and the Iess intensive uses of land." A mix of o�ce and residential
uses at this location is consistent with the code's intent.
5. The petition for rezoning was found to be su�cient on October 10, 2006: 11 parcels eligible; 8
parcels required; 8 parcels signed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above findings, staff recommends approval of the rezoning
from RM-2 (Multiple-family Residentiai) to OS (Office-Service).

St. Paul, MN 55102-1634 ,
Dear City of St. Pau{,
I am submitting a new application to change the zoning at my house
at 1449 Grand Ave from RM2 to OS.
This is the second submission. 1 obtained another name on the first
petition requesting a change to BC; however, in the interim I also met
with the housing committee of the Mac — Groveland Community
Counci{ again.
They suggested that an OS zoning request would more likely be
� acceptable to them because the house sits next to two structures that
are already zoned OS. This would then not become an issue of "spot
zoning" in the neighborhood:
I now have all the signatures required for the enclosed second
petition.
Respectfully Submitted,

St. Paul, MN 55105
November1,2005
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I am writing to request your support and to inform you of my
circumstances.
At this time, based on requirements by the city, (which I had been
unaware ofl, ! will need to apply to have my house rezoned in order to keep my
btasiness here, which is the only way 1 can keep my house.
Changing the zoning will not change the operation of my business, and
will therefore, not create any more traffic, parking issues, nor activity than is
already on Grand in front and back of my house currently.
I am asking for your support in this zoning change. The following is a
summary:
I purchased my house at 1449 Grand Ave. as a duplex in 1990. It needed. •
countless things done to it, which f provided with numerous re-finances
and sweat equity. I continue to make improvements.
2. The second floor was renfed as art apartment when l purchased the
house.
3. i lived on the first floor as a single pareni{ sole provider, and my son had
his room and a recreation room area in t[�e basement. f added fegal
egress windows and fixed up the iower level. We oecupied tfie first and
lower garden level; and my office was in fror�t of the living space on the
frst floor as a home based business.
4. I re-decorated the upstairs apartment so I could live there after my son
started coltege. I rented the garden apartrnent. 7here were no nevp �nits
added.
5. Afi age 58, I have no retiremenf money; and friends have suggested that I
buy another property. So I found renters for my ups#airs apar#ment and
►ooked for a house to buy.
6. I purchased a house to live in October 29, 2004. •
t�
��-a�
• 7. f have renters on the second floor and in the lower garden levef of Grand
Ave.
8. My business occupies the first floor.
9. i need to keep my business in operation there. 1 have been there for 15
years and people know how to find me in a centra4 urban location.
10. I hope to someday create a satellite location; but that has not manifested
and that is a bigger and {ong term pro}ect that will requ±re resources that l
do not currently have, and it will never happen if I do nof have my central
location in continuous operation.
11. Because my house fiappens to be located wedged between two
businesses on the west and a string of apartment buildings on the east, I
have never experienced a neighborhood feeling here. My son and f
prepared for trick or treaters on the first Halioween we were here with
candy and pumpkins, but no one sf�owed up because iYs a busy street
and because of how my house is situated between these other
enterprises. Also, my house is not included in any block party events on
the north or south of Grand.
• 12. If I am forced to close my business I will have no income.
i will be calling you in a couple of days to set up a time when we can talk and I
could have you look at the petition the city has requested to be circulated as part
of the process of this change.
If you have any questions or concerns befo�e that time, p{ease fee{ free to call
me at: 651-699-9876.
Sincerely,
Margery Welfs

As many of us enter middte age and beyond, it's interesting to compare how we evafuate the
meaning of the phrase "quaiity of tife " To some, it connotes beiFlg fult of energy, happy and

WHEREAS, Margery Welis, File # 06-240-622, has applied for a Rezoning from RM-2 (Multiple-family
Residentiai) to OS (Office-Service) under the provisions of § 61.801 of fhe Saint Paul Legislative
Code, on property located at 1449 Grand Ave, Parcei Identification Number (PIN) 032823310087,
legally described as WANN'S ADDITON TO ST. PAUL LOT 18 BLK 4; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission, on November 9, 2006, held a public
hearing at which ail persons present were given an opportunity to be heard pursuant to said
application in accordance with the requirements of §64.300 of the Saint Paul Legisiative Code; and
WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the evidence presented to its Zoning
Committee at the public hearing as substantially reflected in the minutes, made the fol(owing findings
o ac:
1. The applicant operates a health-related business with two residential units at this address. She
previously occupied one of the units, which made the business use a legal home occupation. At
some time, the appiicant moved out of the buiiding and rented both units to others. This move
caused the business to be in violation of the requirements for a home occupation found in §65.141
of the Zoning Code. In order to maintain the business as weil as the rental units at this location,
� the appiicant is requesting a rezoning of the property to OS Office Service. If the rezoning is
approved, the property must be brought into compliance with the building code, and a certificate of
occupancy wiH be required to legalize the uses.
2. The proposed zoning is consistent with the way this area has developed. There is a mix of
commercial and residential uses aIl along Gsand Avenue includ'+ng the area around this parcel.
3. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Policy 5.2.1 in the Land Use
chapter states "...the City will support competible mixed use within single buildings..." On the City
land use map, the parcel is located within blocks of a designated neighborhood commercial node
at the intersection of Snelling and Grand Avenue. The District 14 Area Plan Summary
"encourages mixed use housing development wifh commercial uses on the first fioor and
residential uses upstairs in selected commercial clusters."
4. The proposed zoning is compatible with surrounding uses. §66.411 states that the intent of the OS
zoning designation is to "accommodate various types of office and service uses performing
administrative, professional and personai services and to serve as a transitional use between the
more intensive uses of land... and the less intensive uses of land." A mix of office and residential
uses at this location is consistent with tfie code's intent.

Patricia James - Re-Zotting 1449 Grand Ave.
From: "Marysik, Steven P" <SPMatysik@CBBURNET.COM>
To: <patricia james@cistpaul.mn.us>
Date: 11/9/06 11:56 AM
Subject: Re-Zoning 1449 Grand Ave.
CC: "Matysik, Steven P" <SPMatysik@CBBLJRNET.COM>
Dear Ms. James,
This email is to voice my opinion on the re-zoning of 1449 Grand Ave., the property owned by Ms. Marjorie Wells.
Macalester-Groveland is a very unique mix of residential and commerciai uses. In my opinion this end of Grand
Ave. (from Ayd Mill Rd. running West to the River) seems to have a nice balance currently. To continually nick
away at re-zoning properties more towards commercial use will eventually allow devetopers, in the future, to
gather larger parcels as a whole for larger developement of certain blocks or corners that could possibly ruin the
character of this neighborhood. There are issues with parking, tra�c, architecture, scale, setbacks, property
values, etc. fhaf come info play here with regard to fufure developemnt along Grand Ave. and until fhere is solid
comprehensive plan in place 1 feel we are cheating the community and those that have moved in#o this
neighborhood because it is not an Uptown or France Ave. or Grand Ave. on the east side of Ayd Mill.
Ms. Wells chose to buy a home in Macalester-Groveland Neighborhood and has been allowed to run her
business from her home as allowed by the City of St. Paul zoning codes, She chose to move and attempt to
continue running her business from that home which is no longer allowed under 'tt's existing Zoning uses, and
outside of personal gain and an obvious increase in value if zoned towards a more commercial use, Ms. Wells I'm
sure has other choices available to her. As a rental properiy, zoned residential, her investment will continue to
grow none-the-less.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Steve Matysik

RE: Zoning File # 06-240-622, Margery Wells
Dear Ms. Wells:
Telephone: 65l -266-6700
Facsimile: 657-2283220
On September 29, 2006, you applied to rezone property at 1449 Grand Ave. (After waiting the
7 working days required by law for the consent petition, the official date of receipt of the
application was October 10, 2006.) After a public hearing by the Saint Paul Planning
Commission's Zoning Committee on November 9, 2006, the Commission voted to recommend
approval of your request on November 17, 2006.
• The Pianning Commission's recommendation is being forwarded to the City Council for their
action. Minnesota Statutes 15.99 requires that a11 city action on zoning app{ications be
completed within 60 days of the date the application is made, but allows the City to extend this
period for an additiona160 days (totai of 120 days). In order to accommodate the City Council
public hearing on your rezoning, which is also required by state law, the City of Saint Paul is
hereby extending the deadline for action firom December 9, 2006 (originaf 60 day deadline) to
February 7, 2007 (additional 60 day deadline). I have requested that the City Council set the
public hearing on this rezoning for December 20, 2006. When this or another date is confirmed
by fhe Council, you will be notified.
Please contact me at 651-266-6639 or pafricia.james@ci.sfpaul.mn.us if you have questions.

from RM2 to OS but was returned to the applicant due to insufficient signatures.

•
DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: The District 14 Council had not commented on this
application at the time this staff report was prepared.
FINDINGS:
1. The applicant operates a health-re{ated business with two residential units at this address. She
previousiy occupied one of the units, which made the'business use a legal home occupation. At
some time, the applicant moved out of the building and rented both units to others. This move
caused the business to be in vioiation of the requirements for a home occupation found in §65.141 of
the Zoning Code. In order to maintain the business as well as the rental unifs at this location, the
appiicant is requesting a rezoning of the property to OS O�ce Service. If the rezoning is approved,
the property must be brougfit into comp{iance with the bui4ding code, and a certificate of occ�pancy
will be required to legalize the uses.
2. The proposed zoning is consistent with the way this area has developed. There is a mix of
commercial and residential uses ali along Grand Avenue including the area around this parcel.
3. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Cornprehens+ve Plan. Policy 52.1 in the Land Use
chapter states "...the City wili support compatible mixed use wifhin single buildings...° On the City
land use map, the parcel is located within blocks of a designated neighborhood commercial node at
the intersection of Sneiling and Grand Avenue. The District 14 Area Plan Summary "encourages
mixed use housing development with commercial uses on the first floor and residential uses upstairs
in selected commerciai clusters."
4. 7he proposed zoning is compatibie with surrounding uses. §66.411 states that the intent of the OS
zoning designation is to "accommodate various types of office and service uses performing
administrative, professionai and personal services and to serve as a transitional use between the
more intensive uses of fand...and the tess intensive uses of fand:' A mixaf office and residential
uses at this location is cbnsistent with the code's intent.
5. The petition for rezoning was found to be su�cient on October 10, 2006: 11 parcels eligible; 8
parcels required; 8 parceis signed.
STAFF REGOMMENDATION: Based on the above findings, staff recommends approval of the rezoning
from RM-2 (Multiple-family Residential) to OS (Office-Service).

Dear City of St. Paul,
I am submitting a new application fo change the zoning at my house
at 1449 Grand Ave from RM2 to OS.
This is the second submission. 1 obtained another name on the first
petition requesting a change to BC; however, in the interim 1 aiso met
with the hausing committee of the Mac — Grove{and Community
Council again.
They suggested that an O5 zoning request would more likely be
• acceptabie to them because the house sits next to two structures that
are already zoned OS. This would then not become an issue of "spot
zoning° in the neighborhood.
I now have aN the signatures required fior the enclosed second
petition.
RespectFully Submitted,

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I am writing to request your support and to inform you of my
circumsfances.
At this time, based on requirements by the city, (which 1 had been
unaware ofl, I will need to apply to have my house rezoned in order to keep my
business here, which is the only way I can keep my house.
Changing the zoning will not change the operafion of my business, and
wi!! therefore, not create any more traffic, parking issues, nor activity than is
already on Grand in front and back of my house currently.
! am asking for your support in this zoning change. The following is a
summary:
1 purchased my house at 1449 Grand Ave. as a duplex in 1990. It needed •
countless things done to it, which 1 provided with numerous re-finances
and sweat equity. 1 continue to make improvements.
2. 7he second floor was renfed as an apartment when f purchased the
house.
3. I lived on the first floor as a singie parent{ sole provider, and my son had
his room and a recreation room area in the basement. f added tegal
egress windows and fixed up the tower leve(. We occupied the first and
lower garden level; arrd my office was in frorft of the tiving space on the
first floor as a home based business.
4. I re-decorated the upstairs aparfinent so i could live there after my son
started coilege. i rented the garden apartment. There were no nevy units
added.
5. At age 58, i have no retirement money; and friends have suggested that I
buy another property. So I found renters for my upstairs apartment and
looked for a house to buy.
6. I purchased a house to live in Oc#ober 29, 20o4. •
�
a�.a-�
� 7. I have renters on the second floor and in the lower garden level of, Grand
Ave.
8. My business occupies the first floor.
9. 1 need to keep my business in operation there. 1 have been there for 15
years and people know how to find me in a cenfral urban location.
10. I hope to someday create a satellite location; but that has not manifested
and that is a bigger and long term project that wilf require resources that 1
do not current(y have, and it wili never happen if I do not have my central
location in continuous operation.
11. Because my house f�appens to be located wedged between two
businesses on the west and a striqg of apartment bui(dings on the easf, I
have never experienced a neighborhood feeling here. My son and I
prepared for trick or treaters on the first Halloween we were here with
candy and pumpkins, but no one sf�owed up because iYs a busy street
and because of how my house is situated between these other
enterprises. Also, my house is not included in any block party events on
the north or south of Grand.
• 12. If I am forced to close my business t wi(! have no income.
I will be calling you in a couple of days to set up a time when we can talk and I
could have you look at the petition tF�e city has requested to be circulated as part
of the process of this change.
If you have any questions or concerns before that time, please feel free to call
me at: 651-699-9876.
Sincerely,
Margery Welis
